Leo Express Becomes First Private Railway Operator in Poland, Tickets Now on Sale Leo Express becomes first private railway operator in Poland, tickets now on sale PRAGUE, 20. 6. 2018 – Leo Express becomes first international open access operator on Polish railway. Prague and Krakow will be connected by Leo Express train for the first time on July 20th. New service will be ideal for weekend trips, departing from Prague to Krakow every Friday and Sunday. From Krakow to Prague, the train will depart every Saturday and Monday. Tickets for the new rail service are now on sale. Leo Express will be the first private railway operator and also the only Czech railway company in Poland.

After going through the regular stops on the route to Bohumín, train will enter Poland and take passengers to the Energylandia amusement park in Zator and cities like Tychy, Katowice, Oswiecim or Myslowice with the end of its journey in Krakow. It will be the fastest and most comfortable connection between Prague and Krakow, being an ideal choice for weekend trips. „Friday the 20th is important day for us, because we will become the first private railway company in Poland and we will introduce the fastest connection between the Czech Republic and important cities like Tychy, Katowice, Myslowice or Krakow. As of now, Poland has one of the lowest usage of rail in Europe and we want to change that. We see a large potential in the Polish railway market. Our aim is to support further rail liberalization in Poland and increase the passengers’ interest in environment-friendly modern means of transport,” said Peter Köhler, Leo Express CEO. The first ever crossing of the Czech-Polish border will happen around 8pm. Leo Express will offer its highly comfortable trains with premium services, some of which can passengers enjoy on the bus line to Krakow, also operated by Leo Express. As a matter of course, passengers will enjoy Wi-Fi connection, foodservice and caring stewards. All tickets can be bought online and there is no need to print them. The ticket between Prague and the Krakow passenger will buy from 109 crowns. “Our usual passengers are young people and students, who use our bus network between Warsaw and Vienna, or Lviv and Prague. We believe that even more people will use Leo Express services and we will become one of the main passenger transport companies in Poland,” said Peter Köhler. Due to ongoing repair works on Polish rails, Leo Express trains will start operations only on weekends. Leo Express plans to expand its services when the works finish.

  • Leo Express Launched Ticket Sales on Prague - Krakow Trains Route Again: Daily Operations from Mid-Next Year
    Leo Express launched ticket sales on Prague - Krakow trains route again: daily operations from mid-next year PRAHA, 9. 11. 2018 – Leo Express renews its weekend train connection between Prague and Poland and launched ticket sales. Trains to Krakow will operate from the 30th November over Christmas and New Year to the 7th January, and then again from the 22th of March. From the 20th of June 2019 with the new Polish timetable Leo Express trains will operate every day of the week. The temporary interruption of operation is caused by extensive repairs on Polish tracks. Leo Express replaces the successful connection with more buses that strengthen the existing daily connections during the restrictions. The Czech company is currently the only private rail passenger carrier in Poland. "We have started selling tickets for a popular direct train connection between Prague and Poland that will set off again on the 30th of November. People can enjoy the Christmas markets and from mid-year they can go to Krakow and other cities and back every day. Without restrictions on the Polish tracks and extending the driving time, we would operate every day already now," says Emil Sedlařík, Leo Express spokesperson. Leo Express launched the connection with Polish Krakow already in 2014 by feeder buses to train connections from Bohumín. Leo Express set off on Polish tracks as the first Czech company and the only private railway passenger carrier on the 20th of July 2018. Due to the extensive repairs on the Polish tracks and the extension of the driving time train operations had to temporarily interrupt the connection from the 9th of October to the 30th of November 2018.
